Bug#413044: apt-get source does not respect pinning
Package: apt
Version: 0.6.46.4
Severity: normal
apt-get source does not seem to respect pinning. I have experimental in
my sources.list and pinned to -1 (so experimental packages won't be
installed unless explicitly requested). If I run apt-get source,
however, the experimental source package is downloaded. I would expect
that the source package which corresponds to the binary which is
installed by apt-get install would instead be obtained.
